What are some must-haves on your Halloween music playlist?
Please try to tag artist and genre in your comments! Everything welcome!
So far I've got
Lydia Lunch's cover of Spooky (post-punk)
Type O Negative's Black No. 1 (probably the single version) (goth rock)
Werewolf Bar Mitzvah (boys becoming men, men becoming wolves.)
The Specials - Ghost Town (Ska)
Shocked by the lack of bobby pickett's monster mash (Halloween pop?)
Where. Is. Thriller?
But seriously props OP. Type O is a great answer. I'm going to add (other than Michael Jackson) the song When You're Evil by Voltaire.
Danse Macabre
Besides the obvious ones:
- "Hell" - Streetlight Manifesto
- "Wolf Like Me" - TV on the Radio
- "Anybody Else" - Dom Fera
Also, a bunch of songs by Bear Ghost! "Haunt, The Cartoon Heart," "Necromancin Dancin," "Rivers is a Vampire," and others.
This is Halloween, This is Halloween...everyone hail to the pumpkin song!
Is most of the lyrics I recall of the first song that comes to my mind.
Alice Cooper - He's back (the man behind the mask)
Has to have Rockwell on it!
Goo Goo Muck - The Cramps After Midnight - Fastway
Pet Semetary by Ramones!
I have a 108 song Halloween playlist!
Agree with the Misfits Halloween.
Some you may not have considered:
If You Were Still Around - John Cale
Vampire - Claudia Schmidt
Careful with that Axe, Eugene - Pink Floyd
What's he Building? - Tom Waits
Rockin' Bones - The Cramps
Zombie - Maitre Gims
Oh man, let me dig deep into history for this gem:
Switchblade Symphony - Witches
After getting the reference in NOPE, I think Purple People Eaterdeserves a place on the list.
Personally I'd add PJ Harvey's Down By The Water for sheer creepiness factor.
Dead Souls Personally I like the NIN cover from The Crow soundtrack
Any of the many versions of Where Did You Sleep Last Night? I'm partial to the Sleigh Bells version
Powerwolf - Lupus Dei (Power Metal)
- Monster Mash - Bobby Pickett
- Bela Lugosi’s Dead - Bauhaus
Screaming Jay Hawkins - I put a spell on you
also
David S Pumpkins - 1 hour loop
Kind of an inside joke at our house, but the theme to the original Blob. It is so goofy for a terrible "horror" movie. Enjoy!
Some that are frequent fliers on these kind of lists but haven't been mentioned yet...
-
Evil Woman - ELO
-
Witchy Woman - Eagles
-
Black Magic Woman - Santana
-
Living Dead Girl - Rob Zombie
and finally some non girls-Я-evil songs:
-
Abracadabra - Steve Miller Band
-
Ghostbusters Theme - Ray Parker Jr
-
Werewolves of London - Jackson Browne
-
Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley, Bark at The Moon, Scary Little Green Men... Really any of Ozzy Osbourne'a better songs.

Anything by Bear Ghost (well, maybe not the Christmas album). Some more than others but they all have a spooky Halloween feel to them.
Thank you for introducing me to this band.
Do you listen to Weezer?
Zombie Bastards - Weezer

If you’re a Metal fan, Halloweentown by Dark Divine is a really good song.
